Agenda
2:50 PM Case Study: AI-Driven Logistics, Maintenance and Sustainment in Defence Operations
Autonomy does not end at the platform - it extends across the entire support chain. This session examines how AI and autonomous systems are transforming defence logistics, predictive maintenance, and sustainment operations.
Predictive maintenance at scale: how AI is transforming the ADF's approach to platform sustainment - reducing unplanned downtime and cutting the cost of maintaining complex autonomous systems
Autonomous logistics: how uncrewed systems are being deployed in the sustainment and resupply chain - from forward operating bases to maritime replenishment
Sovereign sustainment: why Australia cannot rely on offshore support chains for its most critical autonomous systems
3:10 PM Fireside Chat: Scaling Autonomous Logistics: From Air and Sea Capability to Joint Sustainment Advantage
A cross-service conversation on how autonomous systems are reshaping defence logistics across air and maritime environments, and what is required to move from individual capability initiatives to a connected, joint sustainment advantage.
The discussion would explore:
Lessons across domains: What air and maritime autonomy initiatives reveal about the future of Defence logistics and sustainment
From capability to scale: The challenges of integrating autonomous logistics into a broader joint Defence operating model
The barriers to adoption: Addressing data, infrastructure, workforce and integration challenges required for operational scale
Building resilient sustainment: Developing sovereign support networks to ensure autonomous capability remains available when it matters most
